Because those were crimes. As to the exact lies he's accused of telling, here's what we can find out: The investigation didn't result in criminal charges connected to the leak itself.Instead, the special prosecutor in the case, Patrick Fitzgerald, charged Libby with lying to the grand jury and obstructing the investigation of the Plame leak. Libby originally told the grand jury it was NBC's Tim Russert who first revealed Plame's identity to him during a conversation on July 10, 2003, but later said a search of his notes reminded him it was Vice President Cheney who had been the first, one month earlier. But taking the stand at Libby's trial two weeks ago, Russert, who arrived on crutches, maintained he and Libby never discussed Plame during their 2003 conversation. Former Press Secretary Ari Fleischer was one of several White House officials who testified they did discuss Plame with Libby, which Libby says he simply doesn't recall..... http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/law/jan-june07/libby_02-20.html There you have it ... disagreements about who talked to who about Plame even though the discussions didn't lead to a public leak.
